If I add you I'll have to kill you.

About Me

I'm a social activist, which is probably the most important thing in my life. Humor is definitely up there though. The V-Day movement, to end violence against women, is the best thing I have ever been a part of. . .this is my fifth year!!!! www.vday.org I moved to New York City in August 2005, which has been one of my dreams for a very long time. I love it here, the pure exisistence of human fraility and strength is more apparent here then anywhere I have ever been. And the nightlife fucking rocks!!! I am just graduated from NYU with my Master's in Social Work. I know, I know there should be more people like me, I'm not going to make any money when I get out of grad school, blah, blah, blah. I fucking know that!! I wanna be a social worker anyway! I am a huge fan of stand up comedy-david cross, eddie izzard, dane cook, demetri martin. I'm 5'10 and I hate trying to find pants. I think that is a very important detail about my life. I have a fabulous boyfriend who is the one person who can stop me from arguing, which is a very difficult thing to do. I have coincidence and a little dash of fate to thank for him. Always follow your heart-you'll be amazed at what you find when you do. I love the summer and the ocean and seafood, which makes me a true Rhode Islander. I think life is all about helping someone else and trying to change the world to benefit everyone. Just call me a romantic.

My Interests

Music, Stand up, Dancing, Social Activism, Traveling, Reading (things that aren't for school) Fashion (even though I can't afford anything!), Art, Pop Culture (for shame) and attempting to play the guitar!!

I'd like to meet:

Bill Clinton, more people from my father's side of the family so I could piece together my ancestry, Dave Matthews, Johnny Knoxville, Gandhi, Anna Wintour so I could laugh at how shallow and bitchy she is, Bush, because I want to spit in his face and the guy who invented CD wrappers so I could kick his ass!!!!!!
